How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 134 - 97: Boss Zhou’s Generosity (Part 2)

Zhou Guanyu, just about to say something, looked at the already hung-up phone and cursed in frustration. But after cursing, he obediently opened the shopping platform.

...

Although at first glance, there didn’t seem to be much to tidy up in this room, once they got started, there was so much to do that the two of them were overwhelmed for a while. By the time they finished the work, it was already nine in the evening.

Fortunately, by then, they had tidied up almost everything. After a shower, they lay on the bed early.

"Speaking of..." Qimeng was planning Qin Miao’s future in her mind when she suddenly thought of Lubos, and then his profession, making her hesitate before asking, "Did we forget someone?"

Qin Miao, who was using his hands to "climb the mountain," replied without thinking upon hearing Qimeng’s question, "I don’t think so."

Qimeng casually mentioned a name, "...Kong Youming."

Upon hearing this name, Qin Miao’s hand slightly froze... Then he took a deep breath. So many changes had occurred lately that he really seemed to have forgotten about him.

Qimeng also smacked her forehead in regret: "When I found out you were going to Ferrari for a trial, I spoke to him on the phone, saying we’d be staying abroad for a while, the salary would be paid as usual, but the work would have to wait until we returned."

"But with all the changes recently, I’ve been overwhelmed and kind of ignored his existence..."

The two exchanged a glance.

"What do you think? Should we call him over to help, or just let the contract end this month?" Qimeng asked.

Qin Miao actually thought of letting the contract end this month. After all, now that he was a part of Ferrari’s youth team, and Ferrari had arranged a physical trainer for him, there was no need to spend the money anymore.

However, Qin Miao couldn’t make up his mind because he felt that during the time Kong Youming worked for him, there really wasn’t any aspect where he didn’t do his job properly.

It felt difficult for Qin Miao to fire someone who hadn’t made any work-related mistakes, so he hesitated.

Seeing Qin Miao not speaking, Qimeng said, "I think it’s better if you find a long-term fixed physical trainer, as the one arranged by Ferrari will always have their allegiance to Ferrari."

"So you mean... it’s okay to find a physical trainer, but not Kong Youming?" Qin Miao placed his hand on his nose, sniffing the faint scent on his fingers while analyzing Qimeng’s reasoning.

Qimeng blushed and rolled her eyes at Qin Miao.

But she didn’t immediately explain her reasoning, instead letting him think for a moment.

Once the scent on his fingertips had dissipated almost completely, Qin Miao realized, "Kong Youming has professional knowledge in physical training, but that’s about it. In domestic competitions, it’s fine, but abroad, he doesn’t speak English and lacks experience. He can’t really help me, right?"

Qimeng looked at Qin Miao in surprise, openly praising him, "Impressive, you even thought that deeply."

"Here’s a reward... mua~"

Qin Miao chuckled and shared a fragrant kiss with his girlfriend.

Only then did he ask, "So what about Kong Youming’s contract? Should we not renew it after this month ends?"

"Hmm... I’ll handle it. Don’t have any emotional burden. It’s just a normal employment relationship."

"Alright then..."

"Let’s rest."

"Good night, dear~"

The night passed in silence.

Upon waking, Qin Miao felt that his physical condition had returned to its best state.

However, he didn’t habitually take a dose of health tonic after getting up. After all, Lubos’s words from yesterday still lingered: he needed to have a physical exam today.

Qin Miao was worried that if he took the tonic, it might reveal some undesirable substance during the blood test.

Although Qin Miao trusted his system and believed that the tonic provided by it was harmless, there was still the chance it contained some additives.

And since he couldn’t have breakfast today, Qin Miao didn’t complete his standard training regimen in the morning, just a simple warm-up, after which he started preparing breakfast for Qimeng.

Although he didn’t bother Qimeng last night, this girl usually wakes up a bit later than Qin Miao.

By the time Qin Miao had a bowl of breakfast noodles ready, Qimeng had just finished washing up and came out of the room.

Qin Miao’s cooking skills were limited to this: simple clear broth noodles, nothing too seasoned, with just a boiled egg added—emphasizing simplicity.

Upon waking, Qimeng didn’t obediently sit down for breakfast but instead rushed directly into Qin Miao’s arms like a child seeking their parents.

Qin Miao was a bit surprised. Having been with Qimeng for a while now, ever since they started traveling together, they had been living together almost daily. Never had Qimeng behaved like this upon waking up.

"Wh... what’s up?" Although puzzled, Qin Miao gently patted Qimeng’s head as he asked.

Qimeng just buried her head in Qin Miao’s chest, "Nothing, just let me hold you for a while..."

Seeing Qimeng’s actions, Qin Miao couldn’t help but wonder what had caused this unusual behavior from the girl. But no matter how hard Qin Miao racked his brains, he couldn’t detect anything odd.

In areas he’s not good at, Qin Miao was quite adept at letting go. Since he couldn’t figure out what had happened after trying for a while, he simply decided not to think about it anymore.

Qin Miao originally thought that Qimeng wouldn’t hold on for too long, considering there was a bowl of noodles on the nearby table waiting for her. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

But the girl, as if wanting to make up for a long period without being able to hug Qin Miao, continued to lean on him until Lubos came knocking to call Qin Miao to work.

Hearing the knock at the door, Qimeng let go of Qin Miao, "I won’t disturb your work today. After breakfast, I’ll clean up. It’s your first time meeting your colleagues and bosses, just be natural."

Qin Miao deliberately checked Qimeng’s expression and eyes after she let go to ensure there was nothing unusual before nodding, "I know what to do, don’t worry."

"Hurry to work. Lately, I’ve been unable to focus well on my studies because of you and Zhou Guanyu..." Qimeng maintained that gentle and loving smile.

Before leaving, Qin Miao didn’t forget to tease, "But when I asked you to play games, you willingly tagged along."

Qimeng widened her beautiful eyes.

...

Today, being Qin Miao’s first day at work, he naturally wore his Ferrari work uniform.

A custom short-sleeve Ferrari shirt, compared to the F1 team’s attire, had only the manufacturer’s logo and Ferrari’s prancing horse logo, without any extra ads.

The black pants and sneakers were prepared by Qimeng the night before the shower. The girl’s sense of style was still quite on point, so this outfit looked decent and fitting on Qin Miao.

When talking about clothing, Qin Miao remembered the personal sponsorship given to him by Boss Zhou, so he’d have to ask Lubos how to incorporate a sponsor logo onto his clothes.

Whether he should find someone to customize it or something else.

But those were matters for later. The immediate task was to go to work with Lubos.

Today, Lubos, like Qin Miao, wore the Ferrari short-sleeve shirt. Although it’s just work attire, it’s not something everyone can get hold of. And being that Ferrari is a world-renowned sports car manufacturer, even its work clothes are full of design appeal. Also, the material is comfortable to wear, so the employees don’t mind wearing it to work.

"Morning!"

"Good morning."

The two greeted each other after meeting.
